Understanding the Ligaments of the Glenohumeral Joint

What two structures articulate at the glenohumeral joint?

• Humerus and clavicle

• Scapula and sternum

• Humerus and scapula

• Scapula and clavicle

Which ligament is known for providing support to both the anterior and posterior aspects of the glenohumeral joint?

• Transverse humeral ligament

• Coracoacromial ligament

• Capsular ligament

• Coracohumeral ligament

The coracohumeral ligament connects which two anatomical structures?

• Greater tubercle and lesser tubercle

• Acromion process and humerus

• Coracoid process and humerus

• Coracoid process and acromion process

Which ligament extends between the coracoid process and the acromion process?

• Capsular ligament

• Transverse humeral ligament

• Coracohumeral ligament

• Coracoacromial ligament

What is the role of the transverse humeral ligament in the glenohumeral joint?

• It connects the coracoid process to the humerus.

• It reinforces the anterior and posterior aspects of the joint.

• It traverses the humerus between the greater and lesser tubercles.

• It connects the coracoid process to the acromion process.
